ANVIL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 17, 1906.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JosEPHUs H. GREEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Marietta, in the county of Washington and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Anvils, of which the following is a specification. 1

My invention relates to an improvement in anvils; and the object is to provide an anvil which has a much larger base to rest upon than the ordinary anvil, so that it will retain its position while accomplishing its functions.

A further object is to provide an anvil particularly adapted for dressing oil-well tools when they require sharpening or shaping, it being my purpose to provide an anvil designed for three different sizes of bits; and to this end my invention consists of a triangular body portion the angles of which are fashioned in different sizes for as many sized tools, so that facility is attained in the manipulation and fashioning of the tools adapted to be operated upon on this anvil.

My invention further consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of my improved anvil while resting on one of its bases. Figs. 2 and 3 are similar views with the anvil resting on other bases. Fig. 4 is a transverse section through the center, and Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section.

A represents the body portion of the anvil, it being triangular in cross-section, thereby presenting three faces which serve as widened ases upon which the anvil rests and three angular working edges. At the end of the central body portion the triangular flanges 1 1 are formed, these flanges projecting a trifle beyond the faces of the body portion whereby to guard them and serve as a means upon which to support the anvil and their sharp angles working parts for fashioning tools in the use of the anvil.

The different edges are preferably beveled slightly a greater or less degree, as shown at 2 2, and in the center of these beveled portions 2 2 are located the rounded tapering rojections 3, 4, and 5 of varying sizes and a j acent to their smaller ends, and sunk in the body portion are the notches 6 6 of triangular form. The functions of-these three features will now be briefly described, and, first, the flattened slightly-beveled corners are disposed at an angle to receive a bit of six or seven feet length which has its other end resting on the floor. The central projections 3, 4, and 5 are for furrowing different-sized bits, and the notches are to receive the bits while their corners are being straightened up and dressed, they holding the bit firmly while being operated upon. At opposite ends of the anvil projections 7 and 8 are located for the purpose of making rings and doing circular welding. These projections or horns might be omitted, if desired, or rings might be substituted in their stead or, in fact, other-shaped projections substituted.

My improved anvil is well adapted for use with drilling derricks and outfit and of course may be serviceable in various other capacities, but it is particularly designed for the purposes specified.

It is obvious that the anvil might be made in various sizes and dimensions and it is likewise evident that slight changes might be resorted to in the form and arrangement of the several parts described without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to limit myself to the exact construction herein set forth; but,

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

An anvil in the form of a block triangular in cross-section and provided at its ends with triangular flanges of similar shape, but of greater area than the cross-sectional area of the block, the flanges being designed to form end supports, While the block is in working position, and the several corners or edges of the block being provided with working faces of different character, respectively.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
